The Bihar government announced that the PM Fasal Bima Yojana will be operational from the Rabi 2026-27 season, with online applications starting on November 15.
The state cabinet approved the rollout of the PM Fasal Bima Yojana, aligning with the central government's insurance programme designed to safeguard farmers against crop loss.
Under the scheme, small and marginal farmers will receive premium subsidies, with coverage extending to a defined percentage of their declared yield for eligible rabi crops.
An online portal will go live on November 15, allowing farmers to submit applications through the Bihar agriculture department website or at common service centres across the state.
Officials indicated that the scheme will cover major rabi crops such as wheat, barley and mustard, and will be financed jointly by the centre and the state government.
The implementation is expected to bolster farmer confidence ahead of the upcoming sowing season and reduce financial vulnerability to adverse weather or market fluctuations.
